PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

Gracias as well. Everyone on TW is really good about spending my money

 

So can we say welcome to the Prinsu family

 

He will soon

 

Hi Zach, I placed an order for a cab rack a few weeks back and have a similar question regarding the shark fin on the 2015 DCSB. Seems Toyota changed them to a taller fin in the last few years. Useless to me as I'll never use XM radio.
In some threads it appears to hit the crossbar and folks either turn them sideways or notch them out. Others suggest getting the single wide bar.
Do you still offer the single wide crossbars?
I too would like the last bar to be at the back for loading stuff.
BTW Looking forward to getting mine!

 

Still not home to measure lol.

But it's a strong yes.

 

Ok, not counting my fin, I measured in at 6'1.5" at the highest point on the roof. I have 6'6" of clearance and my work garage, but I need to eventually upgrade my front coils to 700#

I think it'll work lol

 

I'm looking to order mine next week, I just have one question and I apologize if it's covered somewhere in the previous 5k posts. Is the rack compatible with sunroofs on the 3rd gens? Thanks.

 

Yes

 

Is anyone using a 42" light bar with their 40" cut out on these racks? Ordered my rack last week and am looking at this light to use with it.

Not sure about the 40" cutout, I have the 30" cutout. The actual cutout is 32" though, so if the 40" is comparable, it too may be 42".

 

Bought it! Absolutely love it. Had to do some touch-up painting, but still looks good. Hardly any wind resistance compared to my Yakima/Thule setup I had. Adding a Plano this weekend!

 

If he doesn't have any single wides left I have a few spares sitting in my garage. Let me know once you have an opportunity to mount your rack if you need one and we can talk.

 

Ill swoop in on this offer!?
No response on same question..

My 16 has the tall fin and am looking for a single wide black anodized rail..

 

Does the light bar mount to the closet crossbar to the wind deflector? If so, which mounting brackets do we use?

 

I must've missed something.. I didnt even know Zach had a single wide crossbar. Ill buy one!

 

Has anybody ran into the splotchy white marks? I assume hard water spots but its more pronounced where my wiper over spray is. Can't for the life of me get them to come off with normal cleaning/scrubbing.

 

Unfortunately the one I have is the clear ano/raw aluminum version that shipped out when the racks were first introduced. Can't help you on the anodized black single wide, though perhaps Zach can.

 

While I have yet to mount a light bar, there are several options available, depending on the application and light bar mounting requirements. If the light bar bracket is long enough it may reach back to the first cross bar. If not, then the first cross bar can be moved forward or a separate cross bar mounted just forward of the first cross bar.

The beauty of the Prinsu system is the options are endless.

 

sorry but question about this question...

planning or ordering this rack soon for my 16.
why is the single wide cross bar needed? is it so u can put a crossbar in the most rear location on the rack and not interfere with the shark fin antenna?

and if so are u guys saying that he's not making the single wide cross bars anymore?

 

Yes that's what they are saying. Shark fin won't allow the bars that ship with the rack to fit in the last spot behind the fin. A single wide fits back there.

As an alternative to the single wides someone on TW installed a round Yakima cross bar with a little modification. Looked good. I'll see if I can find the post.
